Noisy Friarbird obtaining nesting material

[wigz]

I thought this Friarbird was building a nest in the this tree as it kept leaving and returning to do something. Looking at the images it seems it was collecting silk from a chrysalis, presumably to use in building a nest elsewhere.

Wow, an interesting sequence. Is it eating the fruit as well....?

[wigz]

No fruit that I can see Mark, I think it's a moth cocoon and the bird is stripping silk from it. Not good for the moth.
